HELLO!! nice to see you here Mona So I guess wi will struggle once again
Good luck to everyone. This one looks like the hardest topic yet. I've got no idea atm becouse i haven't read EON and still trying to find any in my local bookstores. Anyway trying to come up with some ideas from just some snippets of the story may be very intresting and challenging.
Good luck and here we go!!

HI - this is how my bore hole is going to look like - It was mostly shader & texture work ( diffuse / bump / displace maps) so I give it to shading category. It still needs some tweekings through
.I also developed basic lighting for a scene And it was quite hard to develop satisfying shatowing .I managed to setup shater and light the way you can see it now
Hope you like it.
-CHEERS!!

1. If you have Only one polish existing copy of EON , maybe you would like to share with me a xero-copy? Because i didn't have that much luck .

2 . Forgot about using photos of the moon surface if you want to have nice looking craters. You need ELEVATION map in greyscale or other gradiend colors. Photos has shadows which makes you surface unnatural (deep in shadow zone and peak in light) .here is a link of example map you need.

@ Thanks Tomek I fixed height maps and make some tweekings now there is no sign of ugly shadows Thanks for pointing this out for me.. I have like 100+ hires photos of moon and asteroids I can share it btw.
I don't have the only one copy :P in Poland IMHO ( try to find wydawnictwo AMBER wznowienie z stycznia lub lipca 2006 ) At the moment my polish language copy is preaty "lost" (I moved recently)

HI all.
It's been a while since I last gave a sign here but my work & life issues forced me to take this break. But I don't give up. 3 weeks to go and I'll try to do my best - now it became kind of test of my speed abilities.
I started working on USSR space soldiers here you can see space suit, ak 297, shield.
I'm planing to pud most details on textures
-cheers
